Chapter Ninety-Seven: She Doesn't Want to
Qiu Tao frowned, "Madam, the slave doesn't understand, right now you are not in a hurry to deal with the fourth aunt, but you are worried about making money, so you don't worry about ......"
Qiu Tao wanted to speak and stopped, she really wanted to ask the Xu family, although the silver in the private collection of the other courtyard was stolen, the remaining silver taels were still rich, and the profit of the shop under the name of the Hou Mansion was enough to enjoy most of her life.
Even if the Xu family does not have a private collection of silver taels, with her identity and background, it is enough to support her confidence in the Hou Mansion, but why is she still not satisfied?
"Aunt Jiang is not a good type, and it takes a lot of effort and money to deal with her, but it may not be possible in the end."
Xu Shi snorted lightly, clenched his fists, and continued: "But the silver two are different, as long as I work hard, I will definitely be able to hold it tightly in the palm of my hand." ”
Although Qiu Tao didn't understand Xu's state of mind, she still catered to it: "What Madam said is that the slaves and maids in the bamboo courtyard are staring at people, so you can make money with peace of mind." ”
Xu nodded, inadvertently remembering some of what Madame Bai had said.
Mrs. Bai said that day that as long as Song Wanru marries in the past, not only will the matter of the third prince be resolved, but the wedding will also be organized at a high standard, and Song Wanru will never be wronged.
Listening to the meaning of her words, the share of the dowry prepared should be more than one million taels of silver.
If these silver taels can be taken as their own, coupled with the recent profits of the gambling house, Xu's will be one step closer to the goal of 10 million silver taels.
Thinking of Madame Bai's hints, Xu was excited, but thinking that this matter was messed up by Jiang Juan, she was so angry.
"Jiang Juan is against me everywhere, and it is really hateful to do good things to me!"
Xu was so angry that he slammed the table, startling Qiu Tao.
But she quickly calmed down and reassured: "Aunt Jiang is indeed hateful, don't worry, she will definitely have retribution." ”
"Madame, what are you going to do next?"
Xu Shi took a breath and thought about it for a while before he said: "The third son of the Bai family and the second miss of the Song family are a good match, and this marriage can't be just settled." ”
"And although the third son's injury has nothing to do with the prince, he was injured in my gambling shop after all, so I should go and see it."
As she spoke, she turned her head and ordered, "Go and prepare some high-quality supplements, I have to go to the Bai family in person tomorrow." ”
Qiu Tao nodded in agreement.
Early the next morning, Xu went to Bai's house.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw a doctor coming out of it with a frightened face, followed by angry scolding inside.
Xu Shi was startled, and hurriedly stopped the doctor and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The doctor saw that Xu's was a visiting guest, and persuaded him repeatedly: "The third prince's arm is useless, Madame Bai is very angry, in my opinion, you should come back another day!" ”
After he finished speaking, he shook off Xu's and fled without waiting for Xu's reaction.
Seeing this, Qiu Tao muttered in a low voice: "Last time, it was confirmed that the third prince's arm was useless, and Mrs. Bai also knew about it, why is she still so generous after so many days?" ”
Xu snorted lightly: "Maybe today is when the third prince is unwell, she is unwilling, and she can't be angry, so she called the doctor to vent her anger." ”
It's a poor man, too.
As she spoke, Madame Bai came out of it, and saw that her face was flushed, and her eyes were glaring angrily, as if she wanted to eat people.
Mrs. Bai greeted Xu hastily after seeing him, and asked someone to pour tea, but her attitude was not kind enough, and she was more than perfunctory.
She glanced at Xu Shi and asked lightly, "Mrs. Hou came over today to see my son's jokes, right?" ”
"Where are these words? We are in-laws, and we can be regarded as a family, and when this kind of thing happens to the house, I feel uncomfortable. ”
Xu Shi said kindly, turned his head and asked someone to bring the supplements, and said in a good voice: "These supplements are a little bit of the Hou Mansion's heart, and I hope that Mrs. Bai will not dislike them." ”
Madame Bai didn't look at these things at all, she was resentful, and she wanted to destroy them all, but thinking about the identity of the other party, she still calmly asked someone to take these things away.
"Mrs. Hou has a heart, I have taken these things, you can go back."
After Mrs. Bai finished speaking, she got up and immediately arranged for someone to send off the guests.
Xu Shi was anxious, and hurriedly got up and said, "I came today because I have another matter I want to discuss with you, don't you want to know what it is?" ”
Madame Bai said coldly: "Old Madam Hou has already rejected my son's marriage with the second lady of the Song family on the spot, so what else can we discuss between us?" ”
Xu Shi stepped forward slowly, and said with a deep smile: "The third son has excellent appearance, and he is my favorite son-in-law, but the old lady is persistent, and I feel deeply sorry." ”
Mrs. Bai was just about to reply with a cold eye, but when she raised her eyes, she happened to meet Xu's smile with unknown meaning.
"What do you mean?"
Her heart moved, she looked Xu up and down, and asked in disbelief, "Could it be that you are here for this?" ”
Xu nodded with a smile, "The second lady is young and ignorant, and she feels an eyesore when she sees a slightly disabled child, but I know that the good of the third son is in her heart, and I believe that after a long time, she will feel it." ”
"So, I came here this time, in addition to wanting to visit Ling Gongzi's injury, but also to discuss the children's affairs with you."
Madame Bai was shocked, and dared to love Xu's coming not to fall into the well, but to fulfill.
Seeing that she was sluggish, Xu couldn't help but smile and asked, "Mrs. Bai has changed her mind and doesn't want to marry my second miss?" ”
"No, it's not."
Mrs. Bai hurriedly came back to her senses, "My son has a deep affection for the third lady, and always said that if she didn't marry, I am worried about him now, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to talk about it." ”
She glanced at Xu, and saw that her eyes were full of seriousness, not like she was teasing, so she took off her dissatisfied eyes and asked, "You know, although my son saved his life, his arm is useless, are you really willing?" ”
Xu Shi smiled, "You can't just look at the skin, the third son has a gentle temperament and is a hurtful person, so even if his arm is useless, he is also an excellent son." ”
These words instantly went to Madame Bai's heart.
Since the third son was injured, Mrs. Bai has been bored all day long, and her good son's arm is gone, how should she marry a wife in the future, and how should she inherit the family business?
Knowing that the third prince was injured in the arm and was verbally abused by Song Wanru on the same day, Mrs. Bai was even more painful, and since that day, she has supported Bai Nan to marry Song Wanru, and then humiliated Song Wanru after Song Wanru passed the door.
Madame Bai finally raised her brows, let people pour tea and entertain the guests, and her attitude turned sharply.
"Mrs. Hou is generous and ignorant of past suspicions, and she has a discerning eye, and it is my son's luck to like my son, but it is ......"
Madame Bai smiled slightly, and frowned again: "It's just that the arm matter is my son's calculation of the son first, the old lady is very dissatisfied with this, and broke up the two of them on the spot, I'm afraid that this matter will be difficult to do." ”
Xu shook his head, "The old lady feels sorry for the child, as long as the child is willing, she will not care about the previous things." ”
"So, as long as Song Wanru is willing."
Madame Bai chuckled: "But she doesn't want to." ”
